Window & door mastic in Forgandenny, Perth and Kinross
Window and door frames in Forgandenny need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Window mastic in Forgandenny
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. If you’re dealing with leaking joints at the ends of sills and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, we can put it right, on patio & French doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows alike.
Across smaller places in Scotland, homes range from stone and harled cottages to newer houses, many standing in the open. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Forgandenny and everywhere else we cover.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Faulty window hardware
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Forgandenny homes and the weather
Private landlords in Scotland must meet the Repairing Standard, which includes keeping a home wind and watertight, and sound outside sealant is part of that. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, often pointed into the wall with traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Forgandenny Parish Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Do you need window mastic in Forgandenny?
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
For landlords with property near Perth station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Check the mastic once a year
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.

On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
